. >> steve, which states do you think could be targeted next? >> well, i think the republican party has a strategy here to try and weaken institutions that help working families and help the mill class. it's really sad. you know, the republican party isn't doing very well right now. what are they doing, going after labor unions. people forget, all the things we take for granted, whether 2 will be sick leave, available indication days, five-day work week, 40-hour week, it's all because of fights the labor unions did to help the middle class and help working families be competitive in this marketplace. >> do you see any states that might be at risk here? >> do i think what? >> do you see any states that are at risk next? >> oh, yeah, i think the republican party is going to spend a lot of time trying to do this because it's unfortunate because what the republican party ought to be doing is how to change the message to talk to middle class families. the nbc/"wall street journal" poll this morning said republic people view republicans as being too r

and steve, let me start with you. the congressman is going to be among five new republicans, including five women. >> first of all, the new senator is actually very conservative. and i think that's good for the party because i think in the most recent elections, we lost sight of the fact that we have to talk to a lot of constituencies. we don't always represent all the people that we should. by bringing in somebody who is not only african-american, but conservative african-american, it gives us a new messenger, and i think that's very, very important to our party. >> well, in both houses, steve, you have a changing demographic. more women as members of congress. more members born in the '80s. you have this dynamics, this emotion from newtown infusing the entire nation. what do you think the cumulative impact might be? >> well, i hope when we start the new congress in january, assuming that we've dealt with the fiscal issues before then, that people will start afresh. in both bodies you have congresses that look more l

i want to bring in congressman steve israel, democrat from new york, head of the democratic congressional campaign committee. good morning, congressman. >> hey, chris. >> a lot of things to talk about. we just heard from the white house that the president said -- he already said he was against plan b. now they're saying that for some reason it got through the house, he would veto it. where are you in terms of revenue? $400,000 is not -- is not a number that is workable for the republicans, is there another number you think would be acceptable to the democrats? >> actually i think $400,000 is about right. i actually had some concerns with the initial figure $250,000, $250,000 may make you rich in some areas of the country, does not make you rich in very high cost of living areas like long island. and so i think the president has shown a remarkable compromise going from 250 to 400. what we need the republicans to do is show their share compromise. the american people aren't interested in plan a, not interested in plan b, they're interested in plan c. plan c is compromise. we have to get the

steve latourette said some people who call me, they're more worried about the fiscal cliff than about rates going up a couple of points. thomas rooney in your party, if there is truly entitlement reforms that's going to preserve social security and medicare for generations to come, it's going to be very difficult for me to oppose higher rates for the rich. what about that? >> and to mr. rooney's point, if in fact there were fundamental, significant reform of medicare, medicaid and social security so that we in fact save and strengthen and secure those programs, just like we did in our budget,those were included in the president's proposal, then that's something that we would talk about and very seriously consider because there's where we got to get. we got to get real solutions. the problem with the president's proposal is it's not a real solution, it's all politics. >> congressman tom price, thank you for coming on the program. >> we've been talking about the president's advantage right now. so, karl rove was not about to sit on the sidelines. his crossroads gps is running a spot tod
